Retriever and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Robbie: Robbie is an 11 week old (as of February 13, 2026) retriever / shepherd mix (best guess) that weighs about 20 pounds. This ”R” litter (Ranger, Rocky, Remi, Robbie, Rocco and Rex) was the result of an unexpected pregnancy for a family pet. The owners can't care for them and has agreed to get the mom spayed. We would like to get these little ones out of their current outdoors kennel and into loving, warm homes! Robbie is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Robbie, and this full litter, is a group of very friendly pups that love attention! They are currently safe in a pen, but would thrive in a home with more interactions. As a puppy, Robbie will need some patience while he works on his house training. We would love for Robbie to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play freely. Robbie is up to date on his puppy shots and will need to be neutered when age appropriate. If you are interested in warming this sweet boys heart and welcoming him into your family, please go to Charlie's Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

CURRENT LOCATION: Arkansas, awaiting transport to PA.
